Premier League results

These are the results of the Barclays Premier League that were played today on the 13th of April:
Arsenal 3-1 Norwich.

Arsenal scored three in the final seven minutes to fight back to beat Norwich and move third in the Premier League.

Norwich took the lead just before the hour through Michael Turner's header from a Robert Snodgrass free-kick.
Mikel Arteta scored from the spot after Kei Kamara was penalised for a challenge on Olivier Giroud.

Giroud touched in from an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cross before substitute Lukas Podolski drove in a third in added time.

For 85 minutes, Arsene Wenger looked set to start a pivotal week for his team's Champions League hopes with a defeat.

Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham.

Aston Villa remain precariously placed in the battle against relegation after being held to a draw by Fulham.

Both sides had wasted chances before Charles N'Zogbia deservedly put Villa ahead when he curled in a shot.
But the home side's Fabian Delph glanced Bryan Ruiz's corner into his own net to gift Fulham an equaliser.
Delph had a chance to atone for his error only for the midfielder to sky a far-post shot after the visitors failed to clear an Andreas Weimann cross.
The anxious faces among the Villa crowd as the final whistle closed in were a sign of the trouble their side are in as they lie three points from the Premier League's bottom three.

Everton 2-0 QPR.

Everton scored either side of half-time to maintain their European challenge and push Queens Park Rangers closer to relegation from the Premier League.

The visitors were in the ascendancy when Loic Remy's shot was saved by Tim Howard after Junior Hoilett's early curler fizzed just wide.
But five minutes before the break, Darron Gibson's shot was massively deflected off Clint Hill on its way in.
And, after Everton improved, Victor Anichebe flicked in following a corner.
For periods in the first half it looked as though QPR might continue their three-game unbeaten run against the Toffees since their return to the top flight in May 2011.

Reading 0-0 Liverpool.

Liverpool's faint hopes of European qualification suffered a further setback as Reading held them to a second successive draw on an afternoon of frustration at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy produced a man-of-the-match display with a string of outstanding saves.
Liverpool had a host of chances, with Luis Suarez going closest with a chip that was cleared off the line.

Reading twice went close late on but Liverpool's Pepe Reina stood firm.

This was a result that did little to cheer either manager. It was the first time in 14 months that Liverpool had failed to score in consecutive matches and although it ended a run of seven successive defeats for Reading, it did little to keep alive their increasingly desperate battle against relegation.

Southampton 1-1 West Ham.

Southampton and West Ham moved closer to sealing their Premier League status with a hard-earned draw at St Mary's.

Rickie Lambert saw an effort clawed onto the post by West Ham keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen while Hammers striker Andy Carroll volleyed wide from close range.
Gaston Ramirez fired Saints into the lead with a clinical finish after his initial shot was blocked.
But Carroll levelled the game with a low free-kick under the Saints wall as both teams moved onto 38 points.
